The light of the bonfire that was about to be extinguished was reflected in the eyes of the young man, and his childish face looked a little dark and hideous, and the more he looked at it, the more he did not fit his age.

Bai Qige took half a step back without a trace, and his voice did not change without change: "Don't you sleep so late?" Tomorrow I will have to work hard for another day, so I won't rest early,,"

"Didn't the princess also sleep." The young man is eloquent, calm and sophisticated, not as innocent and timid as before, "If I can't sleep, how about I accompany the princess for a walk." The night view of Kusalang is beautiful, and it's a pity not to look around. ”

The short sword slowly moved to his side and waited for an opportunity, and the hostility in Bai Qige's eyes was instantaneous, not because of the boy's tone of disrespect, but because he said words that should not have appeared.

Kusalang, in the Great Yao Kingdom, is called Hongque Yuan, which is the meaning of barren land in the language of the Horo River people.

"It is said that the Holo River is a barbarian land, and I can't see that there will be a cunning and treacherous child like you, and sure enough, the rumors can't be believed." With a smile and continued to sigh, Bai Qige looked at the young man lightly, and his words were unknown.

The word barbarian seemed to touch the young man's heartstrings, the disguised peaceful expression suddenly turned cold, the cold breath lingered in his eyes, his voice was raised by half a minute, and he laughed mockingly: "It is worthy of the princess of Da Yao, her eyesight is so good, you can guess my identity without saying anything." But there is one thing I have to clarify, I'm not a teenager, and you still have to call me 'Brother' because of your age, how about it, don't you want to accept Brother's invitation to go to the Ghost Gate. Still is...... You want to die here. ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man's body moved, and the snow and cold light suddenly came out of the sheath and slashed straight towards Bai Qige.

There is no doubt that this person must be a spy of the Holo River Clan, and the Da Yao soldiers use knives to attack mostly by blocking the waist and slashing, this kind of rapid and fierce head slashing move is the characteristic of the Holo River Clan. Bai Qige no longer hesitated at the moment, and suddenly dodged sideways at the moment the big sword fell, the short sword was quickly provoked from the bottom up, and the sharp blade cut on the man's wrist, and in an instant, the blood mist exploded, and the stump fell to the ground.

The screams resounded in the night sky, not to mention the person whose hand was cut off, even Bai Qige couldn't help but be stunned by the sharpening of the short sword in his hand.

The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about idle matters, looking at the enemy who was holding his wrist and bending over and screaming, Bai Qige did not hesitate to raise his leg and kick heavily on the door, and after a muffled snort, the young man with a bloody face fell backwards. The young man who fell to the ground and hugged his head writhing, a whistle like a birdsong suddenly sounded loudly, and the sound of chaotic footsteps immediately came from the naturally formed ravine not far away, and the number of people sounded no less than ten.

In a hurry, it was too late to wake up the sleeping soldiers, Bai Qige gritted his teeth and rushed to the center of the camp, picked up a pot of residual soup and poured it towards the largest and still burning bonfire.

The last part of the army is about five miles away from here, and someone must see such a high thick smoke rising from the empty plain, and the only thing that can be counted on now is that someone realizes that something happened to the grain and grass troops and brings people to come, otherwise Bai Qige alone will not be able to protect so many people and things, and he will not even be able to save his own life.

Seeing more than ten figures rushing out of the ravine not far away, he seized the time to look around for a moment, Bai Qige took a bow and crossbow placed on the grain and grass cart, stood firm, calmly closed one eye and aimed in the direction, and the machine was loosened, and the crossbow arrow with an iron hook flew out, and a man roared in pain from the opposite side. It seemed that those people did not wear heavy armor for the convenience of the raid, this discovery greatly encouraged Bai Qige, grabbed the arrows in the quiver and put them on the bow and crossbow, a few whistles broke through the air, and the long arrows that pierced the night hit several figures one after another, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the more than ten people fell.

This bow and crossbow is improved by the remote army according to Bai Qige's drawing paper, the volume is much smaller than the previous hard crossbow, but the power and ease of use have been greatly improved, even the old and weak can easily open the aim, for Bai Qige who can't keep up with his mental strength and skills, it is undoubtedly the best weapon. The enemy on the opposite side suffered great casualties in a short period of time, and did not dare to approach quickly for a while, and the remaining five or six figures stretched out horizontally to form an encirclement posture, each carrying the body of a dead companion to resist the crossbow arrows and slowly shrinking the encirclement.

It doesn't matter if they continue to consume it or not, those people's goal is the grain and grass that the camp is stacked together, as long as they get a little closer and put a fire, all the supplies of the remote army will be wiped out, and this northern expedition will be defeated.

Defeated, held accountable, and condemned, Yi Chenjing originally pointed to the northern expedition to the Horohe Khanate and then made meritorious achievements to stabilize his position and strength, if he was defeated, how would he bear the huge blow and the anger of the emperor.

Bai Qige didn't dare to continue thinking about it, a person like Emperor Yao, who was scheming and didn't even care about his son for the sake of the world, would definitely not let Yi Chenjing go. There was no other way to do it now, and she had to use all means to delay time and save the food and grass as much as possible before the reinforcements found and arrived.

With the idea already made, Bai Qige dropped the bow and crossbow and quickly turned out a bunch of fire folds from the baggage cart, lit them one by one and threw them around, scooped out the spirits used to ward off the cold, poured them into the water bladder, and threw them in the direction where the fire folds landed. The little spark ignited by the fire fold met the liquor bubbling out of the water bladder, and the fire instantly skyrocketed, and after the bright fire, it was the enemy who was blocked, Bai Qige vaguely heard the rude roar of the foreign language, it should be cursing her.

The area of the camp was not small, and it was obvious that it could not be blocked for long by blocking only one side, and after a little discussion, the five or six enemies avoided the fire points and outflanked them from both sides, and the footsteps became closer and closer, and the situation was critical again.

Picking up the long knife on the ground and throwing it from its scabbard, Bai Qige took a deep breath and clenched the heavy hilt with both hands. Zhan Ting and Yi Chenjing only taught her how to use a sword, this knife is the first time to hold it in her hand, and she can't take care of it too much when she is at a moment's notice, so she can only rely on her experience as a special soldier and quick reaction to maintain it.

Less than a mile outside the camp, Chen An was hurrying back against the night after returning to Yi Chenjing, and the soldiers around him suddenly pointed to the front and exclaimed: "Fire, the camp is on fire,"

"What's the ghost called, are you going to scare people to death? The camp was not lit that night. Chen An scolded with a sinking face, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be shocked, and the dense gray smoke rose into the sky and reached the sky, and the majestic fire was obviously not a bonfire for heating, but a real fire, and the location was on the edge of the camp.

"Don't go quickly," he screamed and smacked his horse's buttocks, and Chen Anfei rode straight to the camp as if he were on horseback, followed by two soldiers.

Seeing that he was about to approach the camp, the corpses of several soldiers from the distant country lying on the ground made Chen An's heart cold, these were the soldiers in charge of patrolling under him, it seemed that what Bai Qige was worried about had become a reality, and the camp had been attacked.

"Blow the trumpet, call for reinforcements," staring at the raging fire, Chen An gasped, his voice trembled, "The grain and grass troops are attacked, call for reinforcements,"

The panicked soldiers hurriedly pulled out their horns and whined, and the thick sound of the horns echoed loudly through the night, and after a few moments, the sound of the horns was answered in the distance. It would take some time for reinforcements to arrive, so Chen An spat at the mouth, jumped off his horse and rushed to the camp.

Can't wait, can't wait for reinforcements, if there is something wrong with the grain and grass, he can't explain it to Yi Chenjing, let alone to Emperor Yao.

The sleeping soldiers all over the ground made Chen An'an tremble, and he was slightly relieved to see that the grain and grass in the center of the camp were still there, and then he took a sharp breath when he saw several figures in front of the fire not far away, and his face turned pale.

"The Princess,"

The person standing in the middle was the princess Bai Qige, and next to her were two soldiers of the Yao Army, and in addition to the three of them, there were three short alien races, who could be seen from the clothes of the Huoluo River tribe. Hearing the shouts behind him and knowing that it was Chen An coming back, Bai Qige's heart was finally half relieved, but the young soldier on the left couldn't hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground.

"Brother, brother," the cry of grief came from another young soldier on his side, the two brothers were both lucky and unlucky, fortunately the two of them sneaked out to drink and avoid the smoke of the campfire, unfortunately, when they came back, they saw six people from the Holo River people surrounding Bai Qige, the elder brother rushed forward with a knife in red eyes, and the younger brother followed. The three of them dealt with six enemies side by side for a long time, and when the big knife was raised and was about to slash at the exhausted Bai Qige, it was the elder brother who rushed to the front to block three knives in a row, desperately protecting the thin but brave princess from harm, but he himself was bloodstained with loess.

Six fought to five, four, three, and finally waited for Chen An to return, and the situation reversed.

Seeing that they had lost their advantage, the three diminutive Huoluohe tribesmen immediately took the opportunity to take the best step and disappeared into the night before Chen An and the two soldiers rushed forward.

"The princess is injured." Chen Anxin held Bai Qige in horror, and his hands were red with blood.

Bai Qige didn't have time to pay attention to Chen An's greetings, his hands tightly covered the wounds of the fallen soldiers, and he gritted his teeth and said nothing. A large amount of blood gushed out from her fingers, seeing that the person couldn't live, Bai Qige understood in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it, even if it was to press the wound for him to shed less blood, at least, let her do something.

The younger brother's cry was intermittent, and the elder brother's face was bloodless, but there was still a smile on his face, and he reached out and grabbed the corner of Bai Qige's clothes tightly.

"Protection...... The Princess...... Defend my ......"

is just a famous princess, how can she let a fresh life die for her. Bai Qige held the cold and rough palm, his dark eyes were shining, and his gaze was stoic: "But there is a day when Bai Qige will never teach Da Yao to be invaded by foreigners, unless I die." ”

No one thought carefully about whether this oath was realistic, and when the eyes on the young face were closed and the unknown soldier wore a peaceful expression, all of it didn't matter, and it might not be long before no one remembered that such a man had lost his life in war.

Except for her.

"What's his name?" Quiet eyebrows lowered.

"Qiao Dahe......" The young brother wiped his eyes, desperately trying not to cry, "I, my name is Qiao Erhe." ”

This is my own brother. Bai Qige sighed in a low voice: "Erhe, remember, I owe your brother a life, and what I promised him will definitely be done." ”

Standing up and looking at the distant sky, it seemed that many days of worries had become less important, and Bai Qige suddenly understood one thing, in addition to Yi Chenjing and the Bai family, maybe she had more reasons to live well.
